Week 0 - 5-3
Week 1 - 3-5
Week 2 - 5-2
Week 3 - 5-4
Week 4 - 3-5
Week 5 - 2-8
Last week was brutal but there were several that were close and could have gone either way. Oh well.
Week 6
Boston College -13.5 @ Notre Dame - I suppose the line on this game has been affected by Notre Dame's win at UCLA last week, which was extremely deceiving as UCLA was hurting big-time and coughed up the ball 7 times. Notre Dame was held to a pathetic 140 total offensive yds in that game. Notre Dame is only averaging around 10 pts per game offensively and prior to UCLA was giving up over 30. Boston College sitting at 6-0 with a bye coming up and Notre Dame at 1-5 with USC coming in next. This has been a brutal schedule so far for the Irish and they are probably looking forward to their bye in 2 weeks as it gets a lot easier after that. This will be only the 2nd road game of the season for Boston College but still feel they can get it done here.
Missouri +12 @ Oklahoma - Oklahoma off their biggest game of the year. They started peeking at this one at half time of the Colorado game and ended up losing that game but was able to squeak by Texas by a TD. Texas wasn't very successful on the ground but did put up over 300 yds through the air. Oklahoma facing a possible let down here against a team they have dominated. Missouri though at 5-0 and coming off of a 41-6 thrashing of Nebraska may be a little more potent version than Oklahoma is accustomed to.
Stanford +6 vs TCU - I'll jump on the Stanford bandwagon for this one. TCU has lost all 3 of their road games so far and their 3 wins at home vs very poor to mediocre competition. Stanford has put up 2 really good efforts in the past 3 games (Oregon, USC) and their confidence should be booming. QB Ostrander may be back for this one but backup Pritchard looks pretty good and RB Kimble is a load.
Wisconsin +7 @ Penn St. - Penn St isn't all that great for crying out loud. Their 4 wins have come against Fla. International, Notre Dame, Buffalo and a beat up Iowa team. They lost to the only 2 half-way decent teams they've faced (Michigan, Illinois). Wisconsin loses a tough game by 5 and all of a sudden they're chopped liver? This one should be close ala the Wake Forest/Florida St matchup. Wisconsin has won 3 of the last 4 in this series SU including last year at home 13-3.
Illinois -4.5 @ Iowa - After starting the year with 2 wins against poor competiton Iowa then proceeded to lose as a big favorite to intrastate rival Iowa St. and then followed that up with 3 consecutive losses to Big 10 foes. Iowa is banged up and has lost the last 2 by a combined margin of 38 pts. Illinois has not shown any signs of a letdown and has reeled off 5 consecutive wins since the season opener shootout loss to Missouri. The last 2 wins have been against Big 10 powerhouses Penn St. and Wisconsin by 7 and 5. They've also beaten Indiana by 13, a team that pounded Iowa at home 2 weeks ago by 18.
